This is a very reliable dessert wine, not too much texture, not too much sweetness, just a very pleasant accompaniment for a nice dessert, like a cheesecake. (1190 views) | | | Tasted by Bellissimo on 11/18/2012: Nice viscous quality, good amount of melon, some tropical fruit, and lemon. Delicious. (1030 views) | | | Tasted by Gollnick on 6/17/2012: 220 Cases produced. 22% residual sugar. (1212 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Sparty on 2/4/2012 & rated 90 points: Drank over the course of a few nights. Very nice how it coats the tongue. (1252 views) | | | Tasted by bmilesfl on 12/25/2011 & rated 92 points: The perfect sweetness to follow a great Christmas day meal. Nice balance of melon, citrus, mild spices and lemon drops. This couple probably age for a considerable more years ahead. But, if you are so inclined - open one up and enjoy. (1869 views) |
| Argyle Producer website
Argyle farms three vineyards: Knudsen Vineyard, Stoller Vineyard and Lone Star Vineyard. The 120 acre Knudsen Vineyard was first planted between 1972 & 1974. The high elevation blocks of this landmark Dundee Hills site are key components in Argyle's sparkling wines. Knudsen provides Argyle a mix of old vine blocks and new high density blocks planted with "Old World" Dijon clones.
Just south of Knudsen Vineyard in the Dundee Hills sits Stoller Vineyard. First planted in 1995, Stoller, like Knudsen, is planted using state of the art viticultural techniques. Stoller Vineyard has produced some of Oregon's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
In 1996 Argyle purchased a spectacular 160 acre vineyard site in the east slopes of Eola Hills, known as Lone Star Vineyard. Located 15 miles south of Argyle's winery in Dundee, this warm site is planted primarily to Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. This vineyard has the potential to be one of Oregon's best Pinot Noir vineyards.
All grapes are hand harvested into small baskets and transported to the winery. Grapes are chilled overnight to 35F before crushing the next day. Chilling preserves the ripe fruit characteristics and naturally limits oxidation.
Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
